uwin implements symlinks as shortcuts this was done before win32 added (almost) real symlinks the win32 model is strange it needs to know if the target is a dir or not it insists on storing the absolute path of the target in some (if not all) cases it requires the target to exists before creating the symlink
shortcuts are weird themselves but their flexibility is more friendly to unix symlink semantics uwin creates symlinks as shortcuts but it accepts all of the win32 shortcut/symlink incarnations On Fri, 24 Aug 2012 22:50:20 +0200 =?KOI8-R?B?z8zYx8Egy9LZ1sHOz9fTy8HR?= wrote: > Glenn, can you explain how UWIN does symlinks, and how they differ > from Windows Vista symlinks, and how these differ from traditional > UNIX symlinks and NFSv4 referral points > (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-referrals-00 , > http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19963-01/html/821-1454/gjuaj.html)? _______________________________________________ uwin-users mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/uwin-users
